We’ve collated the latest guitars, amps, pedals, recorders and interfaces to have fallen under the watchful eyes of Computer Music, Future Music, Rhythm Total Guitar and Guitarist’s test teams. All the gear on show here was originally reviewed in Guitarist issue 359.

Scroll on for this month’s top picks and click through to read each product’s full review. First up: PRS DGT Standard

MusicRadar’s verdict:

“Less wide sounding than the maple- topped DGT, this Standard version is another voice: a 21st-century Les Paul Special but with expanded sounds, vibrato and PRS's legendary build quality.”

Roland G-5 VG Fender Stratocaster (£1450)

Roland's first Stratocaster

MusicRadar’s verdict:

“Less detailed than the Variax, the G-5 VG Stratocaster beats its rival on open/dropped tuning functions at least. Its digital trickery is also loaded on a familiar, much-loved Fender Stratocaster chassis: that goes a long, long way!”

Mad Professor Old School 21 (£1799)

Classic valve tones in one box?

MusicRadar’s verdict:

“Time will tell whether this technology will be a real-world game changer or an It doesn't quite live up to its rather hefty price tag but the Old School '21 is well worth auditioning for those on a quest for tonal nirvana.”
